When Daniel accepts his best friend and housemate Antonio’s offer to get out of the house for a local street festival, he has no idea that a decision to turn one direction down the street to check out a local band will change his life. He’s mesmerized by a band’s lead vocalist Greg. A chance meeting later in a local bar reveals simmering chemistry between the two.
Both are singers, and it quickly becomes obvious they could make good music together. It soon also becomes apparent they can make passionate music between the sheets, too.
Daniel has always been a solo singer, and he isn’t sure he can share the spotlight as a duo. Greg is committed to his band and wary of branching out in a completely new direction. A chance gig brings down the house and sets up difficult choices for the future.
Follow Daniel and Greg as they fall in love, embark on a regional tour, and finally land in Los Angeles for performances and a recording contract. At the heart of all three books is the developing romance that is wrapped up in one big happily ever after by the end of book three.
Two As One is a 90,000 word (approximately 300 pages total) set of three novellas with steamy scenes. The first two books end happily for now, and the third draws all of the loose ends together for happily ever after.
It was an alright read seeing how Daniel and Greg handled success, the stress and getting through new situations. Their group of friends were likable. It was a simple and easy read.

Book one consists of Daniel and Greg meeting at a fair. These two come together to sing in duet style. They get a chance to go into the road together. In book one, it drags to the point I don't want to even continue. So far, it's a pretty clean m/m. I know this is not the authors typical writing style, I have read several 5 star reads. Unfortunately, this one just doesn't work for me. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of the book.
I have never read any books by Declan Rhodes so when the opportunity came along to read this box set I was intrigued. This is a sweet set of novellas of M/M romance between Greg and Daniel, two singers who meet during a music festival and follows them on their tumultuous relationship. The first part, Two Voices sets the scene for the relationship between Greg and Daniel and to be honest is a bit rushed and dry. The second part, Voices on Tour gets better but became frustrating in that many miscommunications and assumptions on both Greg and Daniels parts led to you just wanting to scream at them both! It makes for an interesting read but I just wanted something more from the story. The third and final part, The Daniel & Greg Show was certainly my favourite of all three parts but I was perturbed that Declan Rhodes didn't seem to put in as much in the first two novellas as he has in the final novella. Had I been reading this in individual parts, I certainly wouldn't have made it to the end and the best of the three novellas. I loved Daniel and Greg as characters but simply wanted more background of each of them. All of the parts are told from Daniel's POV and it would have been nice to read Greg's POV too as we as readers may have understood everything much better. The secondary characters were great and I loved Antonio! Overall this collection was a sweet, quick read. It isn't the best I have read but it wouldn't make me not want to see what else Declan Rhodes has to offer. I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book
I just finished reading the Daniel and Greg Two As One love story. And it was fantastic! The love of music and singing your heart out resonated with my inner diva. There is such an emotional connection with a song that is sung by a performer who is delivering his words and melody from the heart. Daniel and Greg may have been singing covers from the 60's and 70's but the visceral connection they had with the audience made each song personal to each individual. The beauty of their harmony and the emotional connection they shared with every note they sang enveloped all who heard them with the love they had for each other. The love of music, the blending of harmony in song and the love these two men had for each other was the basic theme of these well written books. The transition from small intimate club gigs to the larger commercial music world was difficult at times for them. Luckily for these guys they had really good support from friends and their professional music promoters. Well written story I highly recommend.
When Daniel's best friend Antonio drags him out of the house to a street festival they eat junk food, people watch and listen to bands. The lead singer of the rock band catches Daniel's eye and he nearly swoons. Later as they stop at a local bar for a drink on the way home they see the same singer sitting at the bar. Antonio pushes Daniel to introduce himself. When he does it seems that Greg has noticed him too. This is a fun read and it was great to see how Declan has grown as a writer. I had read many of his other books so when I realized this was his first it was next on my list. I am a big fan of all his books. You can't go wrong with one of his or three as a summer break. Fun with just the right amount of tension without being all angst and no cheating. His characters all have real feelings, emotions and real passion.
A very heartwarming story with plenty of steam. I really liked the characters of Daniel and Greg, but I was somewhat frustrated by their inability to truly communicate. Also, Greg's being so contentious about playing two types of music got a bit annoying. I LOVED the secondary character of Antonio, he was just so over the top. Phil was a great character also. I liked Jackie, but felt she wasn't as developed as some of the other characters. It was so sweet watching Daniel and Greg fall for each other, and . become more and more invested in the relationship as time went by. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.
A chance meeting between two singers turns into love and stardom. Daniel and Greg don't seem to be a musical match when they first meet, but find that they share a love for the oldies. Their relationship starts slow, along with their musical pairing, and there is tension between Greg's current career as lead singer in a heavy rock band and his sweet duets with Daniel. These books cover the growth of both their love of music and each other. The reader will be cheering them on as they grow and reach for the stars.
To be honest I almost gave this a 2 star. I found this series rather exhausting. The chemistry meh. The back n forth between bands exhausting. I know this was meant to be the excitement but I found it doormatting. Especially when they were angry are ripping each other apart one min. N oh yeah lets catch up n wrote songs the next. It was just meh. I hate when there is not chemistry between mcs

This is such a sweet story about two singers finding love while looking for their big break. I really enjoyed Daniel and Greg's journey. I would've liked to have seen some of Greg's POV, but other than that, the whole set was an enjoyable read.
